via Philippine Star, 02 January 2024: The Manila Central Post Office, a historic structure recently damaged by fire, is undergoing restoration to transform into a tourist destination. Despite the loss of 95% of the building’s interior, the exterior structure remains intact. The restoration plan includes integrating the post office into Manila’s tourism circuit, alongside nearby attractions like Intramuros and Binondo.
The Manila Central Post Office is set to become a tourist destination once its restoration is finished, according to Philippine Postal Corp. (Philpost) Postmaster General Luis Carlos.
In an interview with Teleradyo Serbisyo, Carlos was asked about the state of the Manila Post Office which was damaged by a fire last May.
Carlos confirmed the insured building is being restored and that Philpost is working with the National Historical Commission, the Department of Tourism, the City of Manila, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, and the National Archives of the Philippines for the building’s conservation.
